Quality Followup to "Act 1" September 17, 2008
19 out of 21 found this review helpful
As the name implies, this CD is in many ways an Act II given that it completes the collection of songs presented in the DVD. But it also includes "extra" songs (Danny Boy, Christmas 1915, Castles in the Air, and extended Heartland). The songs are enjoyable for a wide audience given the vocal ranges and age-appropriate solos which tend to cause listeners to find a favorite within the group. The ensemble pieces are truly remarkable as well. This is a great CD for almost any music fan and your money couldn't be going to a better, kinder, group of lads!
Amazingly Beautiful! September 18, 2008

I didn't think Act 2 could possibly be better than the original, but I was wrong. This is amazing. Completes the songs from the DVD, as well as "extras", especially Christmas 1915. Just astounding. I can't stop listening to it! All the 'guys' are at the top of their game in this one! Go for it!!!
Absolutely Wonderful! September 20, 2008

I have Celtic Thunder's first CD and Celtic Thunder The Show (DVD), so I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of this, their second CD. I absolutely LOVE this CD! The songs are fantastic and their voices are breathtaking. This is my favorite CD in my collection ... I play it every single day and never get tired of listening to it. If you buy this CD, believe me, you won't regret it. The songs will touch you in a way you can't imagine.
The Amazing "Celtic Thunder" November 4, 2008

Celtic Thunder Act Two is the most amazing CD I have ever purchased. The harmonies they have, to create such a piece of work is not something to take lightly. This CD sounds like they worked hard at putting together a musical blend of 5 talented performers and mixed their voices with the sweetest melodies on a variety of songs that are both old and new. The Irish/Scottish mix of Celtic Thunder is well supported in the group and the concerts will be amazing to see live. I would recommend this CD to anyone.
Another hit from the men of Celtic Thunder! November 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This CD is an excellent companion to the first Celtic Thunder CD. For those who have seen the PBS special or own the DVD, you know that the men are all extremely talented and have an impressive range of voices. This CD showcases all of the men in fine form, from George's hauntingly powerful rendition of "My Boy", to Ryan's wildly intense version of the Christy Moore classic "Ride On", to the ensemble performances of "Christmas 1915" and "Caledonia". All of the songs are excellent, but, as on the first CD, they really show their collective chops on the ensemble a capella version of the classic "Danny Boy". I highly recommend the CD, as it has a great range of classic and contemporary songs performed with heart! Another hit!
